[quote="MetaShane"]What what what... Never heard of St Etienne! We work on Boxing day, not like in the UK.
So, one day less.
Count is now 12

on to the next: In France, Good Friday is only observed in the Departments that once belonged to Germany: Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin and Moselle, along with some overseas departments such as Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane, and Réunion

So check that one out.
Count is now 11

May day was on a Sunday, and wasn't given back to us. Check that one out.
Count is now 10

Victory in Europe Day was another Sunday, and wasn't given back to us. Check that one out.
Count is now 9

White Monday can be worked, it all depends on the company's will. We were not given a holiday on that day, so check that one out.
Count is now 8.

Finally, Xmas will be on a Sunday, so won't be given back to us... Which makes for a total of 7 days this year. My initial comment still stands :)[/quote]

So USUALLY you get more? just not this year :P

St Etiene was listed where boxing day should be (26th dec), just figured it was a different name over there. Where its named over here because of the high domestic violence rate that happens on boxing day ;) (it is the highest DV rate but not really named for that reason)

Typical... England finally get an 8 - 7 score against France and still manages to lose... ;)

Jokes aside, enjoy your holiday (but not too much or we'll be jealous). :)

Hi all,

Some of you might know but it's Bastille Day tomorrow and since we're a French company and we love our holidays 8-) , this week's remaining game releases will be made on Friday instead. So don't be alarmed if you don't hear from us Thursday :p
